A scene on ice near a town - Hendrick Avercamp - Framed Picture - 11x14

Hendrick Avercamp was a Dutch painter. Avercamp studied with the Danish-born portrait painter Pieter Isaacks, and perhaps also with David Vinckboons.

Avercamp was mute and was known as "de Stomme van Kampen" (the mute of Kampen).

As one of the first landscape painters of the 17th-century Dutch school, he specialized in painting the Netherlands in winter. Avercamp's paintings are colorful and lively, with carefully crafted images of the people in the landscape. Many of Avercamp's paintings feature people ice skating on frozen lakes.
